ASUCR Undergraduate Student Travel Grant ??? Earlier this year, the ASUCR Finance Committee and ASUCR Senate approved funding for the ASUCR Undergraduate Student Travel Grant. This grant program is designed to support students seeking to advance their academic and professional growth through research and experiential learning and aims to reduce financial barriers for undergraduates who wish to present their research at academic conferences, participate in professional development workshops, or engage in other scholarly/co-curricular experiences that enhance their educational journey. As a supplemental source of funding, grant will complement existing departmental or external support while helping reduce financial barriers to participation. The grant amount ranges from $150-$1,100 depending on the location and level of participation. This initiative aims to expand access to high-impact learning opportunities and empower students to represent the university in academic and professional communities. Guidelines and upcoming deadlines can be found here: https://asucr.ucr.edu/services/travelgrant >From the Office of the Executive Vice President & Senate [image: image] ASUCR's Senate acts as the main decision-making body of student government, representing the voices of undergraduates across campus. It?s made up of elected senators from each college, along with executive officers who help organize and support student-led efforts. The Senate meets every week to review and vote on legislation, distribute funding to student organizations, and talk through issues that impact the wider campus community. Meetings are led by the Executive Vice President and follow a structured format to keep things fair, open, and inclusive. Overall, the Senate plays a vital role in making sure student voices are heard and in improving student life at UCR. Agenda and Documents can be found on the ASUCR website .
